Since 1977, I’ve been testing recipes on my beloved husband. All of the recipes on my blog have been Husband-Tested in my kitchen using ingredients I purchase at our community-owned grocery store, Lost River Market & Deli and also at the Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Markets in the beautiful hills of South Central Indiana. I do this as a hobby on a volunteer basis. I LOVE TO COOK!

Italian Style Baked Tofu

Makes 4 Generous Servings

Recipe by Nicole Cline of SeasonlyCreations.com

Adapted & Husband-Tested
in Alice’s Kitchen

We really
liked this meatless dish.It was tasty
and very filling.I prepared the recipe
in the morning and then baked it at dinnertime.Served with a crisp green salad, this makes a really nice dinner good
enough for guests.I did not use all the
original listed measurements because of what I had in my pantry and fridge, but
the recipe is pretty forgiving and so I’ve included what I used when I made it.

2 cups or so marinara sauce (I used about ½ jar of Local Folks Marinara Sauce.)

1 cup or so shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs

½ cup yellow cornmeal (I
thought this added great texture.)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 teaspoons pizza or Italian seasoning

Approximately ¼ cup oil (for
skillet)

1 large egg

¼ cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt,
pepper, and Italian seasoning in another bowl.
Coat each piece of tofu with the egg wash. Then dip each piece of tofu in the dry
mixture to coat. Heat the oil over
medium heat until the oil is hot. Add
the coated tofu, cooking until brown and crisp.
Flip to the other side and cook the same way. While the tofu is cooking, add about 1-cup of
the marinara sauce to a 9” X 9”-inch baking dish. Once the tofu is done cooking, place half of
them over the sauce in the baking dish.
Turn to coat. Pour the remaining
1-cup of the marinara sauce over the first layer of tofu. Top with the remaining tofu, turning the
pieces to coat. Sprinkle the top with
the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25
minutes. Serve immediately. (It
reheats well, so leftovers are still yummy.)
